Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-03-19
General Notes.

We have been enjoying a fine spring
rain that moistened the bushes and buds
and gently laved the lawns.
During Lent there is at the Church Of
Good Shepherd a daily evening prayer
on week days at 3 80 O'Clock, except on
Fridays when there will be evening
prayer and lecture by the Rev. Samuel
Unsworth at 80 p. M.
DR.. o. B. Adams, one of the leading
members of the medical fraternity OF this
city, intends leaving us for the East IN
few days. He will leave a void behind
him.
Our sidewalks still need a good deal of
fixing.
In a few days we shall be compelled to
bid adieu to our old friend Rollin P.
Sake, the great importer of thorough
bred stock. He will be greatly missed
IN social circles as will his amiable wife.
The rivers are rising rapidly and will
swell still more with the heavy SHOWS
melting in the mountains.
All telegraph operators are not as lucky
as some, For instance, the other night
one of the Western Union Morse manipu-
lators drove out to the Hot Springs of
DIR. Slater with his inamoratd. They
had bath lin different apartments, of
course) took supper together, smoked
cigaretts from Payson's, and were about
to return to Ogden, when, 10 and behold
their buggy had disappeared, as Cicero
puts it: AbiIt, eUdSit, erupi. Now for
the telephone to the livery sta bic for an
other conveyance. An anxious hour or
two and finally there came relief. On
the way back they met the old nag
quietly jogging along between the two
railway tracks. But the double hack fee
is what troubles the Knight of the Key,
although he had extra time with his
girl.
Henry Smith, the lower Fifth street
barber, is made sport of occasionally by
some INSCRIPTIONS wags in his neighbor-
hood. But he buries his grief in THE
DEMOCRAT and gets consolation there
from.
Whoopng couph, scarlatina, diphthe- !
ria and other similar diseases of more or |
less dreadful effect are best warded off /
by complete cleanliness, both of your
person and your premises. Let the sani-
tary committee make a rigorous search |
of the town.
IL Dame Rumor, having gone out OF
her way for once, speaks truly, it would
pay during the coming summer to have
an office for a justice of the peace at the
Hot Springs, so as to accommodate
loving couples who have been reading or
dreaming about the veil that will be lifted
for them in the Gretna Green of conjugal
bliss. That popular resort is planted
with ger trees. This is no pun, either,
neither does this suggestion need any
browning, as it is done up all in good
faith.
at is only right to state, although some
what tardy, the two friends of Major
and Mrs. Silva, to whom is due all credit
for the admirable arrangements of the
funeral are none other than Colonel Hud-
son and T. A. Knauss." The foregoing
in yesterdays Tribune jottings must be
considered in miserable taste. From our
long acquaintance with the gentlemen
named, we know them to be modest and
unassuming, and that they neither desire
nor seek such notoriety. While the fact
stated is undoubtedly true, we are in
clined to think that both Colonel Hudson
and Mr.. Knauss are averse to newspaper
credit for the faithful performance of a
sad duty.
